About Flashing Installation

Proper flashing prevents water intrusion and protects your siding investment. Always include a waste factor (typically 10-15%) for cuts, overlaps, and mistakes during installation.

Flashing Calculation Formula

Total Flashing = Wall Perimeter + (Windows × 8ft) + (Doors × 10ft)

To calculate total flashing needed: Add the perimeter of all walls, then add 8ft per window (for all four sides) and 10ft per door. Multiply by waste factor for total material needed.
